Is Wenger being paid by Tottenham? Last night would suggest he is.

If nothing else was proved by losing to a team 64 places beneath us and who’s total transfer spend was £7,500 plus the proceeds of a friendly, it was that Wenger is un-sackable.

He wouldn’t get fired if he was a famous northern DJ’s flatmate, he is untouchable, what a plank he really is.

I watched the game last night in the hope that he would finally change his rigid policy of playing overpaid underskilled kids, because he always does in this competition.

That was the first surprise, he didn’t, he played near on a full strength team, his reason? Not that he finally wanted to change tack and try and win with his first team, no, it was that his players don’t play again until next Monday.

Funny that, last week his team were jaded, you would think he’d want to give them a little rest wouldn’t you!

He will never admit when he is wrong will he?

Why Steve Bould took the job is beyond me, it must just be about money, he says nothing, stands behind Wenger and only God must know what he does in training, this zonal marking is laughable.

Yet again we conceded a soft goal because of zonal marking, our keeper once again tried to show how he can attempt to save a high shot by diving at the ground, something he must have picked up from Fabianski.

Anyway we were one down as usual to a very average team that worked hard and apart from yet another Gervinho missed open goal, that was about it for the first half.

Another Wenger thing is to buy a completely hopeless player, stick him in the team until we all start to abuse him and then quietly let him disappear into the sunset.

Senderos, Denilson, Bendtner and Eboue to name but a few. Next up Santos!

He is hopeless Arsene, either your are blind, or you really have lost it, I suspect the latter.

The other enigma on the pitch is Ramsey, now I think when he gets older, he will be a decent player, but he isn’t a right winger, again, only a fool would keep trying him there, say no more, we are managed by a fool, last night it was there for the whole world to see.

He kept Gervinho on and took Podolski off. Next up Chamakh, another crap player he got on a free, except the fact he gets massive wages and no doubt a signing on fee, so the myth of a player costing nothing helps his financially astute reputation no end.

But as usual, it’s a massive lie.

Arsenal forget most of us can count and having a wage bill of £120mil shows we are not financially well run at all, in fact the only reason we have so much money is we keep selling our best players and we rip our own fans off.

Anyway on to the second half, we continued to zonal mark on corners and struggled, yet on free kicks in similar positions we didn’t, and at almost every free kick we cleared well and every corner we struggled, go figure, you would think that Steve Bould would tell his boss this strange fact and do something about it.

Oops sorry Steve, that would involve having an opinion and Wenger doesn’t allow that.

Anyway, something amazing was about to happen, on 69 minutes Arsenal had their first shot on target, yes this fantastic team finally had a shot on target!

I was so shocked I almost forgot about the misses of Chamakh, Ramsey and Gervinho.

Two minutes to go and up pops Vermaelen to head an equaliser, thank God, now we can go on and finish this tie I thought.

Cazorla tried his best and Jack Wilshere was everywhere but to no avail, it went through extra time to penalties and we were appalling.

Cazorla missed, Chamakh missed (no surprise there) then Jack and Oxo scored and Vermaelen missed. He is not having a great season is he?

Give the armband to Arteta and get on with damage limitation, or risk shipping more goals because Vermaelen can’t do both.

What we needed out there was a finisher, Walcott has been with us for a long time, he signed in the same January window as Ade and Diaby, remember those two?

We watch him fall over himself for years, then he gets good and we won’t pay him what we pay Podolski and Chamakh.

What a mug you are Wenger, even if you want to sell him, get him to sign a new 5 year contract and treble what you can get for him. A nine year old American girl selling Lemonade in an HSBC ad could work that one out, why the hell can’t you?

Anyway to finish, Wenger should resign, he won’t because he has no pride, zip, anyone with an ounce of humility would realise his policies are killing this club.

Bringing back Henry is unbelievable, if he was that good then why did we sell him for a paltry £16mil four years ago? Why not bring back Tony Adams? Crap. Sign Theo up, get rid of Gervinho, Chamakh, Squillaci, Bendtner, Denilson, Santos and Diaby who is a disgraceful waste of money and buy what we need.

So sorry if I missed any hopeless overpaid underused Wenger-buys just then!

Wenger’s successful years were when, and only when he spent big money, well it was big in those days. Since he stopped spending, we’ve won nothing, and qualifying for a competition that we never win, doesn’t count. Sorry.

Sorry, but who actually gives a fuck about what Robson has got to say. What does he really know. He’s a dissaffected ex employee. Yea its a bad time at the moment, but I,ve seen worse since 1963 when I started going to Arsenal. I actually hold 3 season tickets at the moment. Things will improve, things go in cycles, and finally its only a game ( expensive I know) . If you dont like it vote with your feet. Theres loads of others things to do with your money

stevegooner – You might’ve had some online abuse earlier in the day, it’s simple though isn’t it, once you cross the line from fan to consumer ( I think clubs are complicit in this as well as Sky, it is generally about making money) , if you don’t like something, or don’t think you’re getting value for money just don’t pay for it.

In a weird way we’re giving fans of lower league teams something back, Good Luck Bradford.

Keyser
Trouble is its in the blood. If i’d been offerred my money back for my season tickets after the Swansea game, I might have taken it. I then go and buy ickets for the FA Cup game at Swansea. I’ll take the brickbats. I pay for my tickets. Still the best club in the world for me

wenger needs to go .
he’s taken aresenal as far as he can. and made a lot of money on the way.
also the last thing we want is for wenger to go upstairs in the board , as
that will be worse with him then having more control over the spending at the club.
he does’nt understand that its, the defence that still needs sorting out.
had just about enough of him and the board , who are just lining their pockets with the expencive prices being charged to the arsenal fans

“Wenger should resign, he won’t because he has no pride, zip, anyone with an ounce of humility would realise his policies are killing this club”.

Correct!.

But, IMO, the focus of frustration should be directed @ The Board/Directors/Stan Krancky. All that you say is happening, there is no doubt about that, & The Board/Directors/Stan Krancky just continue to watch “Rome burn”.

The Board/Directors/Stan Krancky are the real villians here. They don’t have the spine; the will; the guts; the vision to show the manager the door.

And so long as Arsenal continue to finish 4th “or above” they will continue to see Arsene Wenger as that favourite old pair of jeans with the comfy fit and continue to wear him.

I didn’t even know The Arsenal lost until I poked around your post. I can’t even be bothered with Arsenal now. I’d rather watch cricket 😯

What needs to happen to get this pillock to see the exit sign? Flapping penguin flap your wings a little harder. BoD = joke, manager = joke, players = joke so does that mean us that continue to support this dogshit are a joke? NEVERTime to stand up methinks. Get rid you senile French prick

You’re taking advice from a guy(Heil Keyser),who’s never in his life paid for an Arsenal ticket,or ever,ever paid for an Arsenal ticket in his entire life..

LMFAO……

SDE
I wasn’t taking advice from Keyser. I was acknowledging his comments. I dont need any advice about my allegiance to Arsenal. I posted my thoughts from the heart, please read them. (2053) He was positive about them
LMFAO about your short sightedness. I suppose I’m an AKB coz I still choose to go to matches.
PS thats why I made the comment about wearing my tin hat.

I’ve played in hundreds of tense, high quality and atmospheric stadiums from around the world, the Maracana to the Allian Arena via Wembley and Hampden park, The bernabau to Camp Nou to the International stadium in Yokohama.

From my Snes, to my playstation to the playstation 2 and then 3, I’m awesome.

Lies, lies and more lies; spin, spin and more spin. According to Gazidis, the year of Arsenal’s Shangri-La is to be 2014. The message is don’t expect anything till 2014. I don’t know what is going to happen between now and 2014 that is going to make us a superpower; I cannot take seriously anything that Gazidis says because simply put it’s just childish.

He thinks he’s talking to a bunch of 10 year olds being told by their parents that in two years they are going to win the lottery so we’ll just have to be good little boys till then because if we keep making a noise it might not happen. It really is surreal. There’s no other word for it.

If you were a player at Arsenal, what message would you take from the idea that until 2014 it is OK not to win anything because it is not expected anyway? How would it affect you psychologically and more importantly how would it affect your performance on the pitch?

SDE
I was acknowledging comments he made. I dont need any support about my comments. I wasnt seeking any. They stand on their own. I was only stating my opinion. I.e if you dont like it fuck off.
You and Keyser obviously have ongoing issues. Why you would “LMFAO” regarding comments made by Keyser suppoting me, LMFAO!. Get on with your own personal battles.

And when has the requirement for actually going to matches ever been essential for having an opinion on this site?

Whatever..For all the abuse,you spew on here..For all thou holier than thou statements..For all the I’m right & you’r wrong stance to many poster’s on here,who do actually go to games/or have & pay their way..
Whereas you don’t & have never ever paid..

I think at the very minimum,it smacks of complete disrespect& utter contempt to those fans you argue with daily…

If you can’t see that..Then there is clearly something wrong,not only with your moral compass,but with your self awareness..

No doubt you will try,too spin this,belittle the comments,make a long-winded argument..But at the end of the day,you know the score…

You don’t have a fornicating leg to stand on,when denigrating fellow posters,when you’ve never paid,or ever attended an AFC game..

SDE – Whatever mate, you do realise where you’re posting, people from around the World post on here, people who live in America, North and probably South ? Austalia, Israel, Jamaica,Norway, India, France, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and many other countries.

Many probably have never been to a game, but I wouldn’t belittie their opinion, I even gave you a hell of a lot of leeway, I still do even though your opinions and the abuse you come out with when people don’t agree with you get tiresome.

Don’t know if it’s already been mentioned on here earlier but apparently Guardiola’s people have told A\rsenal he wants the job in 2013 above the mancs and that he doesn’t want the Chelsea job because it’s too unstable. He also apparently has proposed a package to the board in a meeting with Gazidas earlier this month. Would love it to be true BUT would the board sack Wenger at the end of this season seeing as his contract runs out in 2014?

There is only one way to get the message across to the board. Fans have to boyoctt a game to try and highlight what the ground will be like in the future if they do not listen to the fans. Yes you have paid for tickets, but one game will not hurt you.. yes it does not hurt them directly as they already have your money for the game… but this is a message that needs to be sent, give them a picture of the future if they continue in this way.. Pick one game and boycott it.. do not attend, do not buy mechandise, do not by programmes.. it will have an affect on the club financially for the day… but the long term message is that fans make a difference and teh only way to keep us is to spend money on quality players.. a first 13 or 14 quality players.. with youth players coming behind learning from the 1st team… not players liek Gernvinho, squill, denilson etc.

I gave up my season ticket 3 years ago as I decided to not seond any more money until it was spent on a manager who has the tactical know how to develop and prepare for todays games. I went back on the list in the expectation that by the time it comes round again things/people would have moved on at my beloved club

PS. PS. Mate sort it out, what’s whit the constant absolutism, you find a point and stick to it. The Eboue instance was a brief moment in a game two or three years ago. Do you remember everything you saw on television yesterday? Do you remember every single moment of yesterdays game? No….? well you remember something, soundbites and a few clips that stick. The Eboue instance was one of those clips that stuck. its my memory not yours. That ought to be enough to you, its a subjective point in the discussion but a point nonetheless. I remember it, its one of the reasons I dislike Wenger, and there are many more. Why you would want to try to alter someones own oppinion based on what they themselves have seen is just a puzzle to me, but its probably a disorder some psychologist somewhere has a name for. I’m sorry but I have given you many a chance in a honest debate, so could we at least try to keep it in the real world. Peace out. (Ric does a flurry of failed handmovements)

Sde u are one pathetic cunt.whats attending AFC match has got do with posting on here

Reply

Clearly,you are one illiterate fornicating prick..

Re-read the comments & understand what the guy Keyser is about,before jumping up..

It’s one thing to pipe up on here,like Heil Keyser does & proceed to goad,incite,humiliate/denigrate,tear to shreds/pieces poster’s who pay to go to watch AFC matches..When he has never been,or paid?

& another,on a completely entire different theme..If you’ve never been to AFC games,or paid,but engage in debate,have an opinion,which you wish to share..Argue all you want..That’s fine..

But not to the point,where you don’t have an opinion(have never been to AFC match) & just wish to humiliate posters,because you find it’s fun & you get off on it..
Telling other fellow posters that pay& you never have,that they are cunts& mongs..!!

This makes little sense, so because you think you’ve seen something, that should be enough for me ? Doesn’t that sound even the tiniest bit arrogant.

Seriously I’m bein restrained here, and all I can think of is that you’re taking the piss, surely no-one could be that stupid.

Something happened in your mind, you can’t remember when or where, but you’re sure it happened, you’ve got nothing to back it up and can’t be arsed to try, yet I’m the one with the problem ?!

You’ve used words like ‘Subjective’ and Absolutism’ so obviously you’re fairly intelligent, come on mate help a breder out.

How the fuck am I supposed to treat you sanely when that’s the shit you come out with ?!

Do you get what I’m saying ?

THIS BITS IMPORTANT.. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.

If someone tells you something, does that instantly make it true ? No, so if someone asks you for evidence isn’t that the right thing to do ?!

It’s not about me or you or this blog, or me trying to belittle or denigrate your opinion, isn’t that just what people do, I don’t know you and when you expect me to not only accept your opinion, but without regard for any sane judgement, breder you’re talking shit.

SDE – Just remind everyone who initiated today’s conversation, I think you’re an idiot, but I’m willing to do my bit for care in the community and converse with you, give you a bit of attention, stroke your hand if you want, wipe the dribble from your chin.

You don’t seem to like me, call me a cunt, are abusive and unwilling to accept my opinion because you think I’ve never paid or attended a game in my life.

The fornicating victim,whacks out the violin..If in doubt,play for the sympathy vote..

I like your play on words,you fornicating manipulator..

“and unwilling to accept my opinion because you think I’ve never paid or attended a game in my life.”

Because I think you’ve never paid,or attended a game in your life…??

HAHA..Those were your own words,you toad-breath..You typed out, that you’ve never paid,or attended a game in your life.Now,you try to make out,that I think that is the case…

What an absolute cunnus..!!

Fact of the matter is,you piss on most self-respecting AFC’s fans on here,who pay to go too matches,on a daily basis..

You dress up your vile,ill,manipulative rants like opinions..
As I said before,you neither have the self-awareness,or moral compass to assess yourself objectively& address your ways..

I’m sure you neither work,nor do anything constructive with your time..
Hence why you are always up till 3.00am for days,even weeks on end arguing incessantly,winding people up,tearing them to shreds..
Because,it makes you feel useful,valuable..Gives you delusions of grandeur..You sad, deluded man..

If you did work,or did something useful,you would not have the time,energy,inclination to pursue such futile,immature adventures,on a daily basis.

The simple fact is I don’t give a shit who or what you are, I read your opinions on here and reply in kind.

You could have attended one game or a thousand, what would it matter if your opinions are worthless.

I put this to you last time and you had no reply, it’s like Wenger saying I’ve managed a thousand games, made 50,000 subsititions and so on, and there you go in one instance your entire argument falls apart.

I’m a worthless loser, that yeah, should probably end it all for the guilt of what I owe my family, but then I’m better than you’ve been at football, and I find it funny how it irks you soo much for no sane reason. I didn’t initiate this conversation I wasn’t rude or critical of ‘stevegooner’s opinion and yet you felt the need to butt in.

Think about this, what’s missing in your life that you feel the need to cast aspersions on mine, I remember you saying that you sat there ‘Shaking your head’, ‘Watching me post and reply to posts from another LeGrove’

I’m sad enough to have the conversation, yet you can’t grasp that you were sad enough to sit there and watch it. I mean literally

You expended X amount of effort digging up Pedro’s old posts, you take the time to copy and paste posts from conversations days ago, you’re now keeping track of when I post, should I be flattered ?!

You’re right though, I should be doing something more constructive with my life, and I have been here too long, but here’s the key can you take your own advice ?!

I come on here 2 hours after my last post to see if there’s any response to my post but no, just Keyser and SDE STILL fucking arguing – that’s all 2 hours worth of comments have been!! Jesus you two get a fucking room or something FFS and Ric – don’t you fucking start! It’s usually you and Keyser arguing all night – what’s the matter? Feel left out!!

gotta say i massively respect geoff but he posts once a month with some vitriol and the usual people lap it up so its become a bit obvious,

shit post geoff, pedro is much more on the money

tim payton is great on the bbc, huge pressure on arsene. its genius, tim is a great spokeperson!

thing is, most of us, me included are looking for excitement from arsenal on the pitch, not fans cofronting ivan, or geoff having a go once in a blue moon. the football getting better is the most important thing here.

pedro writes about arsenal and he has been absolutely brilliant recently through tough tough times.

Quite simply the truth hurts you I see…
We all know what an antagonistic cunnus you are..Spin it all you like..!

Again for the record,from a fellow respected Gooner who echoes all our sentiments about you,oh Keyser-the ark angel..

Cesc AppealNovember 8, 2012 17:09:13
Keyser,
I sleep and work. You?

You never ever make any points. It’s kind of irrelevant to argue with you as you quickly realise you’re arguing with no one but yourself.

You seem to just ‘have a go’ at what people say and then offer little if nay points of your own.

Do you have a view on anything or do you get off on conflict?

I don’t understand why you’re so confrontational.

Is Arsene Wenger your Uncle or something? Stan Kroenke an unnamed benefactor for you when you were young?

If i say, I think Wenger is rubbish at tactics…you’d say BOLLOCKS look at this game and that one and the other.

If i say, I think Wenger is a tactical genius…you’d say BOLLOCKS look at this game and that one and the other.

You are an angry, angry child.If you want a debate fine, but stop assuming your vile little rants are the only correct ones on the site, that you are right and everyone else is some fucking moron with no real grasp of football.

“SDE

Still dreaming about the Spuds & looking out for their scores still ..

Not having that, how was Parlour very stupid, but Merson only Stupid ?I think SDE’s more David Bentley, to be honest I can’t really think of a really talentless, very cunty player we’ve had ?

Reply

& you my friend are Alumnia…

A talentless cunnus,free-rider of a player ,that even had the gall to come out,outrightly & proclaim,”he would never leave AFC,until the termination of his contract,because the contract at AFC was too good,too let go…” Too paraphrase..

Yes a free-rider,like yourself..That even bit the hand that fed him..
When he could have had the good grace to STFUP…

You fornicating free-rider,that offers no opinions,just self-congratulatory pat’s on the back,for what you think are, winning pointless,endless arguments..

Why don’t you pay your way,for once in your lifetime. & then offer your high deluded opinions,& self denigrating of other posters that pay their dues..Maybe,might be met with some modicum of respect..

Anyone who thinks Stuart Robson is just bitter and knows nothing about football is a complete cunt!
Keep burying your head in the sand. Wenger does have the money but refuses to spend it.
The club will not sack him, they will let him bow out in May with some respect.

Well Geoff, another terrific post. However tied up we are, we cant resist spending 10 minutes on your posts. Just a note: you could have spanked the old bugger even harder. I can still see white skin on his ass. You could have painted completely red. HIT THE BUGGER HARD ENOUGH THAT HE CRIES OUT LOUDDDDDD!!!

My fav part of your post?

“Wenger’s successful years were when, and only when he spent big money, well it was big in those days. Since he stopped spending, we’ve won nothing, and qualifying for a competition that we never win, doesn’t count. Sorry.”

I have a vintage bottle of champagne on ice reserved for the night Wenger resigns. It wasn’t vintage when I started saving it for that purpose mind you.
But I certaintly hope I’ll get some bubblies soon.
